'''Tumhan''' or the '''Republic of Tumhan''' (English: ''toom-HAHN | '''Tumhan''' or the '''Republic of Tumhan''' (English: ''toom-HAHN''; [[Naeng]]: ''fi Bintălisral Tumhan'' /vi bintəlisˈʀɒl tümˈhɒn/; [[Netagin]]: ''ne Vyračeb Tumhan'' <small>Śinax pronunciation:</small> /nɛ vɨʀaˈt͡sɛb tümˈhan/) is a country in [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond|Bjeheond]]. The name ''Tumhan'' is interpreted by folk etymology to mean 'the stirring/latent place' (''tuMHaN'') in Netagin, alluding to the volcanic geography of Tumhan. It's sometimes colloquially referred to as ''fi Tsărir Scuay Șir'' /vi t͡səˈʀiɐ̯ skuj ʃiɐ̯/ (the Great Gray East) in Windermere, alluding to its usually cloudy climate. | ||

Translation (WIP) | |||
Our ancestors stepped in the fertilizing rocks --- the soil which we have walked in out of our cradle of birth. | |||
Our plows dug diligently, since we left the low and high places of the animist spirits. | |||
For the fount of the mountains and the rains of the skies --- our smithy is the beginning of vigorous growth. | |||
The world has left us raw material --- the people of Tumhan shall not leave it waiting! | |||

Tumhan is one of the least religious countries in Tricin (comparable to Japan). Some researchers have dismissed the idea of religiosity or lack thereof as a non-useful tool in explaining Netagin society. Spirituality and worship are highly eclectic and personalized, and religious affiliation is an alien notion. While the vast majority of Tumhanian citizens follow Netagin animism, only some 2% identify as such in surveys, because the term is understood to imply membership of Netagin animist sects. Some people identify as "without religion", yet this does not signify irreligion. The "irreligious" is a specified identity which is used mostly to affirm regular, "normal" religiosity while rejecting affiliation with distinct movements perceived as extreme. Today, the term translated as 'religion' (''ťebăr'') has negative connotations for many Netagin, as it is associated with exclusivist groups which aggressively proselytise, or are perceived to be strange or foreign. | |||
